Gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) are widely used in biomedicine due to their unique optical properties. They find application in cancer therapy for drug delivery, biomarkets and contrast agents, DNA delivery and radiotherapy. Other applications at varying stages of commercial development include:

• Point-of-care testing.

• Gas sensors (Solvent suspensions in gas detection).

• Decorative coatings.

• Conductive thin film substrate coatings for flexible electronics.

• Catalysis.

• Glucose biosensors

• Chemical sensors.

• DNA detection.

• Electronic inks.

• Fluorescent probes.

• Fuel cell additives.

• Water remediation (Mercury detection and removal from contaminated water)

• Data storage.

• Gene therapy.
